New York state high school exam slams Christianity, praises Islam - Jihad Watch: "'Christian buildings often constructed on sites of destroyed native temples in order to symbolize and emphasize the substitution of one religion by the other.' That certainly happened in Christian history, but it happened much more frequently in Islamic history -- as with the Ground Zero mega-mosque today. 'HS test 'slams' Christianity, lauds Islam,' by Yoav Gonen in the New York Post, August 24:
State testmakers played favorites when quizzing high-schoolers on world religions -- giving Islam and Buddhism the kid-gloves treatment while socking it to Christianity, critics say.
Teachers complain that the reading selections from the Regents exam in global history and geography given last week featured glowing passages pertaining to Muslim society but much more critical essay excerpts on the subject of Christianity....
The most troubling passage came from Daniel Roselle's 'A World History: A Cultural Approach,' observers said.
The passage reads: 'Wherever they went, the Moslems [sic] brought with them their love of art, beauty and learning. From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that of western Christendom.'
